Hiatus Updates: La Trappe Extenuated, BJ Still Down

1) North Beach: Quoth a Belgian-seeking, would-be-diner: "Last night, my friends and I tried to go to this La Trappe place I keep hearing about so much and found it dark and closed for night due to 'extenuating circumstances.' WTF? What kind of circumstances close down an entire restaurant? The health department?" Anyone? New rival Belgian bars, we're looking directly at you. [Eater Inbox]

2) China Basin: As of last night, the new Burger Joint was still very much down due to those aforementioned technical difficulties, making the total closure time border on a week. Since several people have asked, here's the latest on a potential return, straight from the BJ: "maybe tomorrow, but definitely Friday." [Eater Staff, previously]
