In-N-Out fans come out en masse for Orem opening

(Daily Herald) A little bit of California made its way to Orem on Thursday as hundreds of mostly college-aged customers mobbed the new In-N-Out Burger restaurant at 350 E. University Pkwy.

Some who had long awaited the arrival of the venerable Golden State culinary and cultural institution came the night before; some camped out. But most turned out around the lunch hour to whet their appetites at one of In-N-Out's first two Wasatch Front locations.

BYU students Jeff Chapman, of Walnut Creek, Calif., and friend Alissa Pitt, of southern California, were giddy as they waited in line at around 1 p.m. for the first taste of home since the summer.

"It feels like home, ..." Alissa Pitt said. "It's almost as good as Disneyland."

Chapman said he had been sending out Tweets all morning about the much-anticipated opening of the restaurant in Orem. He said In-N-Out is unlike any other burger chain.
