• Mold-like debris in hand sink drain: Chester County restaurant inspections, Dec. 14, 2025 (lancasteronline.com) — Recent state food-safety inspections found several Kennett Square establishments, including La Verona, Ji-in Korean Eatery, Double AA Burgers, the UPA Buzz Barn Snack Bar, and Kennett Fire Co. facilities, generally in compliance but with some needing fixes like better date-marking, cleaning, and equipment repairs. The report also lists dozens of other Chester County restaurants, schools, churches, and stores, noting specific violations, follow-ups, and openings that may matter if you dine or shop there.
