Hudson - Checkerboards Restaurant & Bar can make life easier during the hectic holiday season, whether it’s stopping in for dinner after a day of shopping or providing hot or cold hors d’oeuvres for parties or furnishing the pizza when the kids are at your house. And, as the restaurant celebrates its 21st year in 2012, it is offering customers a chance to win a vacation trip for two to Aruba. Chris Tsiros can be found in the kitchen of the restaurant he opened 20 years ago. “We’re a family-owned business, and the owner is always here,” he said. “We start at 6 a.m. making the soups and sauces and make everything from scratch.” Checkerboards is a full-service restaurant that can seat 200 people, and Tsiros targets families as his main customers. The original section, with its checkerboard floor, is a great spot for a quick lunch or afternoon snack. There’s a bar and lounge area with flatscreen televisions if you want to watch a game, and a spacious dining room beyond. After a day running errands, the family can enjoy dinner together here. The menu features both comfort food - meatloaf, macaroni and cheese, baked chicken, and baked haddock - and some more unusual entrees like lobster ravioli, pineapple sesame salmon, and grilled steak and portabella salad. Italian and Greek dishes are mainstays. Be sure to check the long list of the day’s specials. The seafood, usually a dozen or more choices, is always fresh, never frozen. “We’re happy to fix fish the way you’d like it,” Tsiros said.
