The document proposes creating a new Yelp award for upscale restaurants using natural language processing (NLP) of Yelp reviews and data. It describes Yelp's presence in the US and lack of an official award system. It then outlines an approach using topic modeling and XGBoost classification of Yelp reviews and profiles of Michelin Guide restaurants to select award winners. The results show about 9% of restaurants met the threshold for the proposed "Yelp Choice Award Gold". Case studies demonstrate examples of restaurants that would likely win the award.
