unpacking challenge

Well i'm confused, i haven't a clue how i'm suppose to get this to work? Do i make a new function and re write the whole first function?

string_factory.py 
def favorite_food(dict):
    return "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format()

favorite_food(**{"name": "kenneth", "food": "tacos"})

```def unpack(food=None, name=None):
         if food and name:
              print("Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!")
unpack(**{"name": "kenneth", "food": "taco"})'''

def favorite_food(dict): return "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format()

(favorite_food(**{"name": "kenneth", "food": "tacos"}) ) <--- remove

```def unpack(food=None, name=None): ( if food and name: ) <---- remove print("Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!") (unpack(**{"name": "kenneth", "food": "taco"})''' ) <--- remove

ok Jason Pallone your doing great you just added a little too much just focus on def, favorite_food, dict, return, Hi, I'm name and I love to eat food!, format, and dict. (hint: I pay attention to the order)
