It's time for another cooking showdown on The Late Late Show, this time with James Corden getting a little help from Mindy Kaling.

The two have their work cut out for them, because Corden's staffers really pulled out all the stops for their Thanksgiving side dishes. There are green bean casseroles, baked cranberries with bourbon, and hidden marshmallows. Yum.

Kaling and Corden can only pick one winner though. Spoiler alert: there were tears.

"This whole thing is harder than I thought it was going to be," said Corden. Watch the clip to find out who bags the winning dish.
