The oven mitts are off when two sisters battle it out to settle a 12-year feud over who makes the best ribs! "My ribs are diamonds," brags younger sister Dolores. "My sister's ribs are coal!" Big sis Maurene can't describe Dolores' ribs because she's never even tried them. "There's no need to," she explains, "because I make the better ribs!"

Rachael knows better than to step in the middle of sibling rivalry, so she calls in her buddy Mario Batali to make the call. Will he prefer Maurene's ribs that are made with her homemade BBQ sauce, or Dolores' ribs that use a dry rub? Watch the video above to see which sister will win bragging rights - and which will don the loser's outfit of a pig costume and a "My sister makes better ribs" sign!

In the meantime, check out a few of Mario's recipes from his new book, Molto Gusto: Easy Italian Cooking, which according to Mario, is "about the simple way that Italians eat on a daily basis when they're coming home and trying to get something done in 30 minutes or less."
