what is wrong with this challenge

the code is giving required output but challenge question is refusing it

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

favorite_food(**{"name":"Michelangelo", "food":"PIZZA"})

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


favorite_food(**{"name":"Michelangelo", "food":"PIZZA"})

Kenneth says the function should take a dictionary object, like so

def favorite_food(dict):

When you format with a dictionary you should specify the key of the value you want in the dictionary like so

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

# And you can call the function like this.
favorite_food({"name":"Michelangelo", "food":"PIZZA"})

This should work.
