Welcome to Kitchn’s series Follow Her, where we highlight some of the coolest, most inspiring women in food you need to know about right now.

Despite what many people may think, Heather Tierney, the creative director and founder of The Butcher’s Daughter is not, in fact, the daughter of a butcher — although the story kind of fits.

Before she created the veggie-friendly, bi-coastal juice bar and café (which currently boasts four locations plus a food truck in New York and Los Angeles,) Heather had a meat-and-potatoes upbringing in the landlocked state of Indiana. After moving to New York City in her early 20s, she opened her eyes to a world of kale salad, fresh-pressed juice, and avocado toast. It didn’t take long for Heather to combine her knack for envisioning and designing spaces with her goal to create the best avo toast in the city. Thus, The Butcher’s Daughter was born.

Nowadays, Heather lives with her husband and 1-year-old son, Marley, in LA, where the plant-based options are even more plentiful. We caught up with Heather while she was in the middle of leather shopping to talk about her favorite fresh ingredients, what her early days of reviewing restaurants taught her about the hospitality industry, and why she’ll never get sick of avocado toast.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
