Hi Mahyar. The function it's ready, you just need to unpack the dict and place it in the format() So in the function you let dict

def favorite_food(dict):

Now to unpack a dict you just pass in the format() the following:

.format(**dict)

the " ** " is unpacking the dictionery I hope this helps you. Happy coding
