I can't get to correct answer for the challenge of string formatting with dictionary.

I'm not sure what is the correct answer for the string formatting with dictionary challenge. The following is how my script looks:

def favorite_food(food=None,name=None): return "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format(name, food}

favorite_food(**{"food":"choco" , "name":"John"})

string_factory.py 
def favorite_food(food=None,name=None):
    return "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format(name="Dom",food="choco")


favorite_food({"food":"choco" , "name":"Dom"})

In the code block, it looks like you are trying to re-assign the name and food when it is already being passed in by the function.

The code above it, that is not in the code block, looks like it is done correctly, but you need another ')' after the food after format: def favorite_food(food=None,name=None): return "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format(name, food)}
