I tried to unpack, but I guess I messed up somewhere. Also, is there a way to look at already asked questions?

I'm uncertain about how to leverage Kenneth's video to solve this problem!

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

I figured it out! - its very simple as it turns out.

I guess that python can do the unpacking in the .format() call:

print("{name} likes {food}".format(**dict))
