At local fine food haunt Newman’s at 988, there’s been a promotion. Faitha Hearing has gone from line cook to Sous Chef at Newmans at 988.

Hearing has been employed with Newmans at 988 since August 2006. She graduated from Portland's Western Culinary Institute in November 2005 and worked as an intern under John Newman at the Stephanie Inn. Hearing then was the main line cook in Newman's absence following the departure of former sous chef Tim Milojevich, who left in July 2008 to help open La Mar in San Francisco.

Nicknamed “Sparky” by Newman, he said Hearing is “positive, calm, enthusiastic and very attentive to the guest’s needs.”

Prior to coming to Newmans at 988, Hearing worked at Bon Appetite and Red Robin. She can also be found working as a barista in the mornings at Bella Espresso in Cannon Beach.

Hearing enjoys spending time with her dog, Penny Lane and would like to travel to Turkey in the coming year.

“We are extremely excited and encouraged to see Faitha’s growth and look forward to the coming years,” Newman said. “The cuisine from the kitchen at Newmans at 988 will continue to be the finest on the coast.”
