Output is correct, code won't submit as correct.

The output is showing a purple link in the footer... I have this on both the editor and my local machine and it's not passing. I've become extremely frustrated. What is wrong with the code? I've also nested it under the <a> tag selector that isn't the direct child. Same output with same results of not passing the test.

        You know what my favorite restaurant in San Francisco is? The answer is that there are so many great restaurants that I couldn't choose one. But honorable mentions include <a href="#">Mr. Chow's</a>, <a href="#">Live Sushi</a> and <a href="#">Piccino</a>.
