He also served as the executive chef at Atlas Bistro from 2014 until 2020. Oppold, who was raised on a dairy farm in Illinois, initially pursued architecture before a fine-dining experience shifted his career path toward the culinary arts. He is a graduate of the Scottsdale Culinary Institute and has also taught at the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts. The business operates on a prix fixe menu model. Diners can choose a five-course menu with options for each course, or a ten-course chef's tasting menu that changes seasonally. The restaurant also hosts a separate brunch concept called "Morning Would," which offers a multi-course tasting menu on Sundays. The cuisine is described as abstract and artistic, featuring deconstructed dishes, foams, and powders. Revenue is generated through the sale of these set-price meals, with options for wine pairings and supplemental courses available at an additional cost. Course aims to provide a high-end dining experience in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, distinguishing itself from more formal establishments. The restaurant has a small, intimate dining room that can seat around 30 guests and an outdoor patio.
