About May's Market @ TLM

Inspired by family and tradition, The Lady May celebrates the art of home-cooking passed down through generations, with dishes influenced by both Italian Catholic and Southern cuisine.Will Taylor grew up going to eat at his grandma's house in Westpoint, MS while Chris McDonald grew up going to eat at his grandma's house in New Orleans, LA. The two decided to combine their grandmas recipes with a unique twist, thus creating The Lady Mays’ fun and unique menu. The Lady May is more than just a restaurant, it is a celebration of family and the traditions that have been passed down through generations. The menu at The Lady May is a blend of these two family cooking styles, with influences from both Italian Catholic and Southern cuisine. From fried chicken to scratch biscuits to homemade jam and pepper jellies, every dish has a touch of nostalgia and reminds us of the flavors our grandmothers used to create in their kitchens. And with the addition of a Sunday brunch featuring gospel music and a Bloody Mary bar with homemade pickled veggies, The Lady May truly captures the essence of family gathering together for a meal. But our journey didn't stop there. As we dove deeper into our grandmothers' recipes and cooking methods, we discovered new techniques and ingredients that have now become staples at The Lady May. We started pickling everything from cucumbers to peppers, and even added hot sauces and honey butter to our menu thanks to our newly formed passion for beekeeping. Read their story
