What is Gloria In Excelsis?
1.
Gloria "Golden Growler " Blumenthal , the popular proprietress and resident vocalist of the EX CE L SIS CAFE *.
(*Formerly the High Plains Drifter saddle salad bar )
"Is Gloria in Excelsis tonight?" is the question on the lips of everyone, as they stroll across Byron Plaza towards Arkansas ' most popular eatery , hoping to find the buxom , bottle blonde songstress presiding behind the bar - or at the piano , where she is happy to tinkle the ivories and belt out such favourites as "Bobbie 's Girl " and " Log Cabin Lullaby " in her uniquely ebullient style.
At the EXCELSIS, the candle-lit ambience is redolent of traditional Southern hospitality and service is swift and friendly . The portions are generously large and there is no threat of meat ration ing ! Patrons are invited to start with a complimentary Urbanity Sunrise cocktail and make a leisurely choice from an ample array of home-cooked dishes such as clambake sandwich , country pie , true grit s fresh from the toaster and jellied eel in lettuce curtains .
"Were it not for Gloria and the Excelsis Cafe, the city of Urban Flats would be a poorer and duller place," claims cultural arbiter and local author Byron Platts, who describes the vibrant venue as "heaven below " and the golden-haired entertainer as "America 's Edith Piaf - a silver tongue d sparrow of the South ."
