We Tried Making THE ULTIMATE WAFFLE! *challenge*

It’s waffles 6 ways for this week’s EPIC food challenge with well over 20,000 calories of insane waffle creations going down in the process! To keep things interesting, we went head-to-head in a battle of innovation to see which twin provided the more indulgent and imaginative pairings to please our palates throughout this 3-round eating endeavor.
Every week there seems to be requests for some sort of waffle mukbang so if you’re one of the many people who dream of crushing crazy quantities of waffles on your cheat day or if ya just like seeing a couple goofballs twins on the internet do so, please make sure to give the video a ‘LIKE’ and subscribe to our eating show for plenty more food challenges to come!
Much love,
-Pete & Nate

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 tossed in) 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 challenges. The calories consumed in a food challenge 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 challenge but rather we are able to consume higher calorie diets due to our love for endurance sports 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 channel is intended primarily for 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, food-centered videos is where we’ll be focusing our attention (and trust us, it’s more fun for all of us this way). Thats not to say it will never happen - it’s just not a top priority for us.

[@pourdrug]

can we please just gather together and appreciate this elite content THE TAKEDOWN TWINS are giving us ? Anyways good luck today!

[@nuttyfoodiefitness]

I’m subscribing for the synchronised eating!!!!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

🤩🤩 Plenty of that happening over here! 😁

@@TheTakedownTwins trust meeee, I’ve been watching your videos for 3 hours procrastinating instead of getting to the gym to train legs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’ve all been there 🤣 You have no idea how happy this makes us you’re enjoying the videos! Happy leg day!

[@EllenJuni]

I found your channel fairly recently and all I can say is wow! The quality of your content and the effort put into these videos is absolutely incredible. I’m honestly so surprised that you don’t have more subscribers or viewers. You and your videos are awesome and I’m really happy I came across your channel. As for the creations, these would have likely been my picks: round 1: Nate round 2: hard one, but probably Pete round 3: definitely Nate (cuz I’m a baby and don’t like coffee hehe) Keep up the great work guys! I’m excited to follow along with you and your channel and see what you come up with in the future❤️ love from Sweden!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’re thrilled you found the channel and we couldn’t appreciate the kind words more, Ellen! Those are excellent round winners 😁 Thank you again for the love! Greetings from the USA 💙

[@Speculite]

What an absolutely insane and fun challenge! I’m team waffle, closely followed by pancakes. Thank you for spending so much time editing and creating phenomenal content 🙌❤️

[@TheTakedownTwins]

So glad you enjoyed it! We’re actually team pancake, but they’ll get their own video in due time 😁 Much love!

man , I got to say that you two have made my favorite people of all time list! Love the positivity and absolutely appreciate the effort you put into your channel! All love ❤️ and keep doing your thing! :,)

[@TheTakedownTwins]

This is way too kind 🥲 Thanks so much for the love and encouragement 🙏 We appreciate you!

[@jennifergomez1574]

The turtle waffle 🤤🤤🤤🤤 Great video guys!!!!! You guys made my day. You should do a sour candy only video lol

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Would eat that one again any day! Such a good waffle 😍 So glad you enjoyed, Jennifer!

[@claire778]

I'd go with a good Marsala or coffee liquor drizzle over chocolatey foam myself (more booze ALWAYS) but Nate Pete Pete was mine.

[@derweisseschattenwolf9201]

Yet again: Amazing video with great Editing. I love how seemless you incorporate Memes and puns and props for your second camera; these close-ups make the food creations look absolutely incredible. Also personally I'm more Team Pancake; not even because of the taste, but more so because I associate Pancakes with a relaxed breakfast, whereas waffles are like a dessert or snack for me. Oh yeah, and Crêpes beat both of them ;)

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Thanks so much for the love and feedback! We really appreciate it 🙏 We’re also team pancake, but they’ll get their own vid sooner or later 😎 Much love!

[@jinglee6453]

Really loving this series where you guys bring your own creation to the table and battle it out! Very creative and tasty combination of foods (and also inspiration for my own cheat days :P), and also wildly different from the rest of the content online. Mad props to the editing and the entertainment that you guys bring as always. Completely random question - I might have missed this, but was curious to know who's the older twin, Nate or Pete?

[@TheTakedownTwins]

So thrilled to hear you’re enjoying these style videos! We’re definitely going to keep them in the rotation 😃 Pete is the older twin! A whole 2 minutes separates our time here. Thanks for the love and positive feedback, Jing!

[@kiannadariooshbonnet4200]

Amazing creations (although I would prefer a pancake vessel over a waffle vessel)!I always learn something new on this channel. 😁 I absolutely adore how you both get so excited about the different creations. Definitely shows that you are passionate about what you do! Thanks again for a great video and I look forward to seeing the next challenge!

[@deeh2003]

Truly amazing how you guys have all these unique ideas! These are fun and I'm gonna have to def try the Cannoli Waffle lol

Great waffle creations Pete and Nate! I personally liked the cannoli one the best. Simple and so good! 😋

[@TheRealTitaniumJaw]

Love your videos and you creations guys! But I gotta ask, which do you like better...Waffles or Pancakes? 🤔

[@pourdrug]

Congrats to the first person who found this comment! Anyways good luck today!✅

[@pascalehibon1295]

200% with Pete on his three creations!!!

[@mdphds2161]

Such a great idea!!!! How about a BROWNIE version next?? Additional ideas: 1) Savory version: Pasta dish toppings , for example, Rigatoni pasta and grilled vegetables with melted peanut butter and thai sweet chili sauce/dip 2) Sweet addition: Cupcakes with variable toppings: Ice cream/ frosting flavors / candy chunks / whipped cream etc 3) Themed: Random food combinations: example: Grilled cheese with ghiradelli chocolate squares, Plain bagels with plain cream cheese and chocolate caramel popcorn topping, and lastly, baked oatmeal with melting rolos, and caramel filled M and Ms

[@christinebaccari176]

Those all looked delicious but i think my top pick would be Petes turtle waffle. I love caramel...and cheesecake. Not too big on cannolis but that looked awesome as well!!! Keep up the good work!!

[@many9778]

Wooow this challenge was very creative, the combos were unbelievable and looked really delicious!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

So glad you enjoyed, Manuel! It was a blast 🙌😁

First of all, I'm hungry... 😩😩😩

[@cinnapika8892]

3,000 kcal per waffle is a monster😂 Congratulations, Nate‼︎✨

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Certainly didn’t go easy on the pairings 😆

[@kaylamariewilliams4653]

Hi Pete and Nate it's me just a reminder I'm special Ed if you guys write it back keep the words easy for me to say and spell it's hard being special ed

[@jimothy4488]

uhhh probably go petes ice cream one, then turtle, then nates cannoli. Funny thing is i almost put tiramisu which would disagree with 2 decisions you guys made and show that I am a like mind with pete

[@lep33]

Kinda hard to pick one, because both we're 🔥🔥🔥 keep it going 💪💪

[@thectk1000]

What a great head to head in the creativity department rather than eating. My picks would essentially be the same as what you guys decided but they all looked great. And nice to see nutella get another chance. Epic creations!

[@aaron6383]

bro all them waffle's be making me hungry and the first waffle with cinnamon spread and ice cream looks insane

[@lisastahl945]

My go to with waffles is peanut butter bananas and honey sooo good! Out of the ones you did I think the cheesecake would be my favorite

[@markmartin8211]

Your creations are amazing! You should start your own company or sell your creations in the frozen section aisle of grocery stores!

[@viewsch]

you should have smashed up the wafer rolls and Ferrero Rochers. It would have been easy to eat then.

[@jimothy4488]

one waffle in this is gonna be a GOAT vid. Great concept and execution

[@coachmarkuswolf]

WAFFLES!! Killer idea. Cinnamon round (you remind me how awesome jazz music is)

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Eyyy, stoked you enjoyed it! Can’t go wrong with somethin’ Jazzy 😁 Great hearing from ya Markus!

[@claire778]

I could be sold on Nutella as a spread if they put the hazelnuts back in.😐

[@Macktastic7]

Turtle cheescake or the Tiramasu waffles looked the best to me 😍🤤

[@Da-Creams]

I have an ice cream weakness so that first one would be my choice all day.

I appreciate the tenacity you guy devote to your channel...6 DAYS! 👀 People really have no idea how much work having a regular channel is! I'm agreeing about the Nutella...not really a big fan but your idea of having a crunchy one would make it SO SO much better!🙂

[@ameerahzahrani]

Ricotta filling got me NATE🤛🏼💥💥 Cuz I love my waffle but only with ice cream and some berries, simple more than it should😝!!! I tried it once with nutella, it wasn’t bad but like so so rich THANK YOU FOR THIS, l love your channel, I support you, and everything else😝💙💙🤛🏼

[@sandyhall6877]

i am like you regarding nutella: (peanut butter is another story!); since i really am not a chocolate fan, i'm not a fan of nutella either; however, since i love white chocolate, which is so underrated, a hazelnut spread with white chocolate i would likely love; p.s. i love your videos!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We’ve seen a white chocolate hazelnut spread at Market Basket in the past! If you have one of those in your area it might be worth checking out 🙂 Thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the videos, Sandy!

I’m addicted to the twins! I feel like we are family lol. Been binging on you guys for a week now. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@derweisseschattenwolf9201]

My personal Favourite was actually the last one, because Tiramisu is my Number 1 Dessert of all time. But I'm really surprised that you didn't do a waffle with huge amounts of cream cheese on it

[@TheTakedownTwins]

We imagined most people would expect cream cheese, peanut butter and biscoff so we did plan beforehand to try and stay on the unpredictable side and surprise people lol. But the cheesecake in the turtle waffle is primarily cream cheese so I guess we did get one in there 😆

[@alisonsoifer4191]

Hi Nate! Hi Pete! You guys are the most creative guys that do these types of videos! You’re the best! You both are winners! Much love 💙
