• Clyde's Wyldwood B-B-Q Shack, Casino & Freakshow

  photo by Robb Walsh After talking about Texas barbecue and the health benefits of brisket all day, I was ready for a serious barbecue sandwich on the way back to Houston. So I stopped at Clyde's Wyldwood B-B-Q Shack and Casino. There I asked for a sliced brisket sandwich--a decision I regretted as I watched the woman behind the counter slice a very dried-out looking piece of brisket. Thinking fast, I asked the lady to add a link of sausage cut in thin slices on top. The juicy sausage and lots o
