you book it.

One page, one job: get you in front of the real food, cooked by the real chef. Reserve a tasting with Chef Scott and book your event with zero guesswork.

Why Scott

A real chef on the other end.

Most catering decisions are made on a PDF and a promise. Not here. With 25+ years in the kitchen, Scott puts the actual food in front of you first — so the only surprise on event day is how good it is.

  • Taste the actual menu
  • Meet the chef who cooks it
  • Customize before you commit
Tastings are paid. The fee is disclosed up front (amount pending Scott's confirmation) — it protects the chef's time and guarantees you taste the real thing before you commit.

“The best caterer I've ever had is May Catering. Scott May is the best — the food was perfection. My guests loved it and it made my husband's 70th birthday party a great hit.”

Tasting FAQ

Before you book

How much is the tasting fee?
Tastings are paid. Chef Scott confirms the exact fee when he confirms your date, before you commit to anything. It covers the chef's time and the food you'll taste, and reassures you with the real thing before you commit.
What happens at a tasting?
You'll taste a curated selection of dishes shaped to your event and talk through the menu directly with Chef Scott — portions, styles, and any dietary needs.
What if I book the event after?
Great — that's the idea. The tasting makes sure the food is exactly right before your date. Ask us how the fee is handled when you move forward.
How soon will I hear back?
Scott personally reviews every request and typically replies within one business day to schedule.

No questions match that search — just ask Chef Scott.
