“Working with your significant other can certainly be challenging, but we’ve done a good job of separating our professional and personal lives,” she continued. “We try not to bring work-related drama home, and when we do, we talk it out, let it go and move forward.”
Byruch’s death came nearly two weeks after she opened up about a recent trip to Hawaii with her loved ones.
“This was my second time in Hawaii, and I’m even more in love with it,” she wrote in the caption of a Nov. 3 Instagram post featuring photos of herself, her partner and their family. “A huge thank you to @hifoodwinefest for having me back. Cooking Filipino food in a place with such deep Filipino roots meant so much to me, especially when people came up to say the food reminded them of home. This is my favorite festival to cook at, and the care you show for the festival, the chefs and the community truly shines through.”
“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that following my passion for cooking would lead to so many opportunities,” she added. “I’m grateful to do what I love, travel the world and create these memories with my family.”
