Flask - Lunch Order Challenge: Struggling to find my error

I have been going over this for awhile now and I keep getting the 'Bummer! Try again' error message. I have combed over my order_lunch function over and over looking for errors and I keep coming up with nothing. I've looked through the forums and seen other people's code that is written similarly, but it seems to be working for them. If someone can help find my error, I would think you're awesome forever. Thanks!

Figured it out! I was missing a '.' between 'user' and '_get_current_object()'. I've lost years off my life on account of that missing period.

Hi Justin,

I have changed this into an answer (it was a comment) and marked it as best answer to keep the forum a bit cleaner.

Keep up with the good job!
