THE ULTIMATE GOURMET DESSERT SHOWDOWN!

16 gourmet desserts and only 4 will take gold!
From epic gourmet brownies to locally produced ice cream and cheesecake made directly on a dairy farm, we brought in multiple high quality desserts featuring the same flavor profiles to eat and award a winning product for each round!
While deciding between monstrous, buttery cookies or blondies stuffed with strawberry shortcake rolls and pop-tarts was truly torturous, we had a great time with this gourmet dessert taste test and hope you enjoy watching us eat and review everything.
If you did, please be sure to drop the video a Like and subscribe if you’re new to our eating show!
Much love,

FAQ’s:
Most of your questions were probably answered in this video:
• The Longest Mukbang Ch...
Extremely insightful video into how it works:
• How Matt Stonie stays ...
Q: How do you not gain weight?
A: Endurance sports (primarily running, cycling and some resistance training) and extreme discipline & sacrifice with our daily diets is how we manage not to gain weight. We eat mostly vegetables, fruits, some whole grains and low fat dairy on the days outside these videos. The calories consumed in a food challenge or mukbang are the only calories consumed that day and sometimes the day following as well seeing our appetites are typically shot from so much food and the thought of eating is very off-putting. Two days out we are back to large amounts of vegetables and increase to maintenance from there. We also often eat most of our days calories in a smaller eating window (we frequently bounce between intermittent fasting & OMAD diet as it just seems to work with our lifestyles and eating preferences). Anyone with a larger than normal stomach capacity like us, the drive to push through the discomfort of a challenge like this, and a basic understanding of energy balance (calories in vs calories out) can do it with enough disciple and intention (not that we recommend it).
Also worth mentioning is that we do not exercise to burn the calories consumed in a video but rather we are able to consume higher calorie diets due to our participation in endurance activities and said discipline with our daily diets.
Q: Can you make a “What I eat in a day” / fitness focused video?
A: While we’re sure that type of video will eventually make its way out there, this is not a health and fitness channel and we intend to primarily focus on indulgent food entertainment. We’re still in the very early stages of establishing ourselves within this genre and we’re constantly experimenting and trying to improve upon our style to make our channel a unique experience. Food is our passion while fitness is our discipline so, while we currently only have the availability to produce one quality piece of content a week, fun food-centered videos is where we’ll be focusing our attention (and trust us, it’s more fun for all of us this way). That’s not to say it will never happen, but it’s not a top priority for us.

[@MillennialJane]

I love videos where y'all try a lot of different things and describe them. You both are really good at describing the flavors and textures, like you focus on the aspects I think people want to know about. I haven't found many other food KZbinrs who can describe the foods in a way I find interesting. And YES, red velvet is not just chocolate!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Dang! This means a lot to us 🙏 We’re actively trying to get better at those things to make our videos something true foodies connect with so this was awesome to hear. We’re glad you’re enjoying the videos! Much love!

[@IAFitness]

I love that we have almost 1 on 1 taste preferences. Everything sweet, with cream cheese or thick cream/ custard in the flavours cookie dough, white chocolate, bday cake, sugar cookie and red velvet

[@IAFitness]

the brownie and cookies is all I want in this video. Not a cake guy, but they looked good as well

[@ot_decathlete398]

Been a 2 year subscriber now and I speak for all of us foodies that you two are hands down the best and most wholesome YT (food )channel and we appreciate the effort and dedication in every video you have. Thank you and I wish you two the best!

[@lemondedetr]

You guys are amazing. I tend to not like eating content but, since your change (less challenge, more enjoyment and being natural on camera giving opinions), I do really enjoy better the content you show us! Maybe because I don't see you in pain but rather see you enjoy amazing food (most of it not found in Europe, let alone Spain (where I'm from)) and, most importantly, your personalities which are amazing! You truly deserve all the praise in the world (and I'm not someone who comments on videos, just thought I might as well do it, since it helps you and maybe makes you both smile). Greetings from Spain ❤

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We appreciate this comment more than we can say 😭 We’re so glad you’re enjoying the newer content as it really is so much more fun for us to make and we really like that we can connect with other foodies with the videos now rather than just senselessly overeating for entertainment lol. You’re awesome 👏 Much love!

[@flaccgh8799]

Those Feed The Cheeks cookies look incredible! Would love to see another twin vs twin creation video - keep up the amazing content guys!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’ve got a silly creations video coming VERY soon but the real deal creations videos are always a blast! We’re glad you enjoy those! Feed the cheeks truly is incredible!

[@guidodavi6824]

as everyone says its a shame this channel doesnt have more followers... the quality of videos keeps growing and it shows that you two truly are artists and doing what you love! keep up the content its only a matter of time

[@christalippincott7580]

Love the concept my fellow twins!!! I feel like making decisions and choosing between the amazing desert's must be the hardest!!! I'm seriously craving sweets bad now!! LOL. Have a great week my friends! Much love! 🤩❤️🔥

[@AyameX4ever]

Dessert!!! ❤ Those fat brownie shop blondies/brownies and the feed the cheeks cookies look so insanely awesome!! Perhaps doing a dedicated video on them? As always, enjoyed the video guys!!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Awesome companies! They were both also featured in “Eating Our Greatest Meal Of Our Lives” videos from last year 😃

[@jkidd1982]

Such a fun and creative episode. I love the fact that you have so many sweet videos. Savory is ok, but I am a sucker for desserts and your dialog is equally as enjoyable

[@jameslouie5626]

Love all your different content and I am as much a sweets guys as both of you. Add blueberry and s’mores on your next round. I wish I had all the sweets you just ate with me NOW!

[@cesarvelasquez3186]

These style of videos are awesome guys keep them coming🔥🔥🔥

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Stoked you enjoyed it! 😃🙏

[@Caroline.martin]

Wow I definitely want to see more videos like this, that made me hungry lol. I'm team red velvet all the way but to be fair all those desserts looked awesome! Great job guys. Much love to you both ❤️❤️

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Team Res Velvet all day 🤩 Much love right back to you, Caroline!

[@dewmelons]

You guys should do one of those “ I eat whatever the person in front of me orders” video I feel like with your personalities it would be very entertaining!

[@sandyhall6877]

i'd definitely love to see more of your videos--they are very entertaining and informative; i particularly like the ones where you critique sweet products--pls do more of those! :)

[@TheTakedownTwins]

So glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate the feedback! 😃

[@farah_lynn]

I know you guys consistently come up with great content ideas but wow 🤩 I would have a hard time picking my favorites in those delicious lineups as well. I'd love to see this return with caramel, peanut butter, lemon, biscoff, cookie dough (might be in the crumbl lineup next week 3/6 and its the best flavor of all time) and carrot cake of course!

[@mdphds2161]

WE LOVE TAKEDOWN TwiNS!!! Thank you for great content and being wonderful human beings in doing so! Very excited for an EASTER themed feast sweet and savory!!

[@jacksonlane3390]

I really love these types of videos you guys have been doing! I swear if you made them all 2 hours long I would still watch all of them all the way through lol. Thanks for the good content as always, 33k coming very soon!

[@sherriw7673]

Another great description of each item presented! You two are the meaning of 'Foodies'! I'm surprised that Longhorn chocolate cake for the chocolate cake choice wasn't in the mix lol! Looking forward to watching the 'olive oil' ice cream test...I'm thinking it'll be really good!

[@redSUPERMAN2]

I'm liking these food comparison videos, thx guys

[@projectnewman3474]

Best food eating channel on yt. 100%. Keeping it classy

[@kcup5705]

Love this video! You guys should definitely do another one 💙💚. Sending y'all lots of love! Keep up the awesome work!

[@justingrossman1838]

Love these videos so much more than the food challenges and look much more enjoyable for you both too!!! Keep them coming!

[@harikakandhi8131]

I am just in love with how every bite of the two of you is somehow always in sync💗🥰

[@rubyhou1084]

This is what we waiting for on Sunday morning 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you guys ❤ Btw, love love love this kind of video!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’re so glad you’re enjoying them! 😃 Thanks for the love, Ruby!

[@ginagoad1100]

Like it! Would like to see you do raspberry desserts, biscoff desserts and pumpkin desserts.

[@nberkel]

Love the concept! I'd like more vids like this comparing flavor profiles from different bake shops. If I saw right you'll be doing something with Ditzy Bar?

[@beaufig]

Simply amazing, as always. Thank you.

[@emilybilbow4990]

By the way… I would love a vanilla cake showdown as I prefer vanilla to most other flavors… maybe a showdown of frozen desserts like the Pepperidge farms layer cakes…

[@travisakadoughboyfoodrevie2831]

Nice video, I like this format! Maybe next time try a round with peanut butter desserts or cookies & cream desserts. If you have Nothing Bundt Cakes in your area you should try their red velvet bundt cake, it's right up your alley.

[@ohknovc]

i love this concept!! it was so fun watch. i think my favorite round was the strawberry round bc ooo that blondie looked😍🤩 i think if you two decide to make another video like this, flavors like lemon, cookie butter, or s’mores would be great to include! keep up the amazing work (still can’t believe u guys don’t have more subscribers bc u two def deserve it, with the amazing content consistently put out)🫶🏼

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’re so glad you enjoyed and appreciate the feedback! That Strawberry blondie was next level 🤤 Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@johncharp3369]

Always a productive tribe member - this is a nice style. And u happened to mention. Peanut butter. Need that!

[@swit1905]

Biscoff next, please!! Genius video concept guys!

[@Caroline.martin]

Ooh can't wait to see how this turns out 🤩

[@lep33]

Another video like this one. Thanks in advance fellas 💯

[@emmaf_]

I loved this video (I know i always say that 😂). You are very good at describing the products and of course I want to see more flavours haha especially peanut butter 😍. Enjoy your week my friends 😘😘

[@mackiereyes7574]

I love this! Make another one with more flavours please!

[@alisonsoifer4191]

What an epic showdown! I love all of the desserts you picked!

We’re so glad you enjoyed the choices, Alison! 😃

[@jimothy4488]

incredible video. I would love if you could do more recipes

[@victoriahayden2961]

Some of these looked so fab!

[@PaulLeach123]

You guys are really good at this. (I'm getting desert fatigue though - these all are starting to feel the same)

[@alexanderbraverman1962]

Nice work guys, great watch! Thanks for putting in the time/energy. Look fwd to these every week. That Wright’s cheesecake looks insane. Best item of the day?? 🤔

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’re so glad you enjoyed and we appreciate the love! Ah, that would be too hard to choose a best item between each of those round winner 😅 That may have to happen some day if we really feel like torturing ourselves 😂

[@Ok-zs6ui]

Love the idea! Great video 👏

[@kellym2269]

Those desserts look so yummy! 🥰😋😋

[@breemclaughlin7409]

you guys should do ranking tier list of a snack cake brand or taking the best selling flavors of a brand and ranking those ( like ben and jerry or talentis as examples). But enjoyed these types of vids

[@princesspsmom9631]

Such a fun video!! I've often thought how anxiously nervous your significant other(s) or family must feel when they bake or cook something new for you guys and they are waiting for your response haha I'd be shitting my pants, ha. And like always, CATCH UP WORLD!! With love, from Canada x

[@alexanderweir2382]

I'm so excited 😃 Edit: I love this style of video and would love too see this again (especially with a biscoff round)

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Ya can’t go wrong with Biscoff 😍

[@Wesley_Coon]

Love the videos as always!! I think you guys should try a mint flavor round!! Mint is my favorite and I think it would be interesting!!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We can get down with mint 😁👏 We’re so glad you enjoyed it!

[@alisachamoy225]

OMG you had me at "red velvet" lol. I wish the red velvet oreos were still around. Great concept for a video and just great to see a new video from you!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’re obsessed with all the love Red Velvet is getting here today 😍 So glad you enjoyed it, Alisa! 🙏

[@Maya-db4wf]

I love this style video!

[@seniorslidman]

Ah, man! It's night where I live and I just brushed my teeth but y'all making me hungry! Might need to brush my teeth twice tonight lol. Great video as always!

We support a lil late night treat 😁👏

I think I’m gonna move to Rhode Island just to be able to go to Wright’s dairy farms everyday 😂. Great video 👌🏻

[@sierrahale2403]

You guys are so underrated I love you guys!!!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Thanks so much for the love, Sierra! 😃😃

[@bigmansteve1828]

I like how they are more of a review channel and actually look like they are enjoying what they are doing, as opposed to many food challengers who just eat as much as they possibly can and look miserable doing so.

[@Ok-zs6ui]

I'd love a new peanut butter themed video! Or Biscoff

[@alisachamoy225]

I would love to see one of the gourmet showdown videos with either an oreo/cookies and cream flavored theme or a peanut butter flavored theme too!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Love us some cookies and cream & PB 😋

[@azroth7714]

Loved the concept! I do miss you guys doing eating challenges more than the trying different things though

[@TheTakedownTwins]

So glad you enjoyed the concept! We’re glad you enjoyed the eating challenges when we were doing them! However, we ourselves don’t miss being in pain by the end of videos and rarely enjoying food in our normal lives though 😅

[@RaebesideSusitna]

This was so fun to watch...

[@jessrod2766]

Strawberry round looked epic! Great job!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Oh, epic it most certainly was 🤩 thanks for the love, Jess! 😃

Did I see delicious COLD MILK 🥛? AND then two separate dunks by Nate? Right on guys!

[@marchymeow4584]

Please make more vids like this 😍

[@jules9185]

Great video guys. All of the cookies look amazing, so much so I’m gonna bake some tomorrow 😊. Favourite round was strawberry the shortcake looked delicious. Love to see more like this. Flavours? Coconut, almond, peanut butter, lemon? Have a great week. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💜

So glad you enjoyed! 😃

[@stevenak115]

my heart would go so fast and I'd get sick because I stay away from high sugar intake. but, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy others doing it. I think you all choose well when making these videos. I think I remember you all mentioning a love for white chocolate? have you all tried the Ferrero Rocher White Chocolate Hazelnut Bar? I did for the first time last year and fell in love!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Love that bar! It’s been on the channel 2 or 3 times now 🙂

[@stevenak115]

We’re so glad you found the channel and are enjoying! 😃 Thanks for the love!

[@ravinitymarie]

I love y’all videos! Y’all are awesome. The Chocolate tuxedo, but the chocolate one y’all tried is good as well. I’m like Nate, I love blueberry, but also chocolate. I wish y’all would do all the Reese’s Ice Cream Desserts. (7 desserts). I’m trying to get someone to do it! Lol. PS. Don’t worry about what people say or think so much. No matter what y’all do, someone will always complain. Just say thanks for the tip God Bless or Merry Christmas! Haha.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the videos and we appreciate the love! We’ll give it to you straight - there are many other ice cream videos we’re likely to do before the Reese’s one, lol. Hearing mixed reviews about those and we have a few other concepts in mind 🙂 🙏 Much love to you!

[@ravinitymarie]

@@TheTakedownTwins Thanks for being straight up. That is the best way to be. I can’t wait to see what ice cream concepts y’all come out and up with….Same here about the new Reeses’s products. Thanks for the prayers, I need them. Prayers sent to y’all as well for financial opportunities and blessings. God Bless, Raven

[@thefamouseugenekrabs]

I had the Linda cake a few months ago. It looked amazing and I had high hopes for it but was very disappointed at how dry it was.

Kind of interesting but I don’t live anywhere near sone of these places… wish you did more accessible brands

[@cinnapika8892]

How about macarons as an option? It contains the flavor of red velvet, chocolate and strawberries😆🎶

[@missyleng]

Round 1, You need the cream cheese frosting! They look amazing but I think the brownies would be too much $shipping to Canada I don’t have patrion what is the difference between chocolate and red velvet? Oh my god that cheese cake tho!

[@ldaniel5177]

I really enjoyed this and I would love to see you do different flavours

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Thanks for the feedback! 😃🙏

[@bellasaporito8714]

U guys should do a video where you do gluten free vs regular store bought foods

[@KiJaeKi]

Being that I enjoy cookies the most as a dessert, I wonder if that would change the judgement. Do bias inherently make a difference, who knows!? But everything looked really delicious. Given a choice, it's always Red Velvet things for me.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We try to be as objective as possible but bias will always play a role like with us preferring that rich cheesecake despite appreciating and enjoying the light, fluffy shortcake 😁 Team Red Velvet! 👏

[@andeatit2]

Idea: Normal Ice Cream vs Healthy Ice Cream Taste Test?

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’ll be straight with you - as people who have been spoiled with high quality ice cream and tried MANY low calorie options, it’s not worth comparing 😅 Some are decent stand alone options but airy, sugar-free ice creams can’t compete with the real thing.

[@FoodB12]

You guys should do an episode of re-match of food items you both did not agree on and see if you guys change your mind (maybe blind folded)

[@Miss-Stakes]

Good choices, I'd be more a fruit person but what you had made me question it 🤣 great vid
