   .. step:: Add a web route to insert data

      In the ``app.rb`` file, add a ``post`` route called
      ``add_restaurant``, as shown in the following code:

      .. code-block:: ruby

         post '/add_restaurant' do
             Restaurant.create!(params[:restaurant])
         end

   .. step:: Post a request to create a restaurant entry

      Send a ``Restaurant`` instance to the ``add_restaurant`` endpoint
      by running the following command from the application root
      directory:

      .. code-block:: bash

         curl -d \
         'restaurant[name]=Good+Earth+Cafe&restaurant[cuisine]=Cafe&restaurant[borough]=Queens' \
         http://localhost:4567/add_restaurant

   .. step:: View the data

      Refresh http://localhost:4567/list_restaurants in your web browser
      to view the new restaurant entry that you submitted. The inserted
      restaurant appears at the bottom of the list.
