It was arguably the biggest story of Spring Training--the Brewer with the biggest bat and biggest appetite swearing off meat for vegetarianism.

"It's not a diet thing or anything like that," he told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel when he made the switch last month.  "I don't miss meat at all."

Now he has a place to feast before he feasts on fastballs. 

"We're all about good healthy vegetarian food," says Robin Kasch, owner of the brand new Cafe Manna (3815 N. Brookfield Rd. Suite 100, Brookfield).  "We're 100 percent vegetarian here."

Her cafe is an all green, mostly organic, entirely enticing eatery borne out of her own inability to find good vegetarian food when she gave up meat several years ago.

"The first time I went shopping after I switched over it took me two hours to buy a half cartload because I was reading every label!"

For Robin's husband Jim, though, the transition has been tougher.

"I'm mostly a vegetarian but I do cheat a little bit," he chuckles.

Tired of meat-free cuisine that seemed flavor-free too, the Kasches opened Cafe Manna five weeks ago to combat common misconceptions.

"Sometimes people think eating vegetarian is like boring and cardboard," Robin explains.  "It's got a bad rap, actually."

With their restaurant, the Kasches are out to change minds and fill stomachs, including that of Milwaukee's newest, most famous vegetarian.

"For him, we have a wonderful sesame-encrusted tofu with asparagus and sun-dried risotto, portabello sandwiches, falafel, a wonderful meatless chili, or lentil burgers, which people will go to when they're used to hamburgers."

To keep up his 50 home run power, Fielder will take it.  All of it.  Because it's a menu even meat lovers can enjoy.

"It's not so much that it's vegetarian as it's a good alternative to steak an potatoes," Jim says.  "It's good healthy food.  Whenever you want a lighter meal or a nutritional meal or a meal that feeds you and stays with you longer than a burger and fries will."

In other words, it's a meal fit for a Prince.
