Brock is originally from Pound in rural southwest Virginia.
His father, who owned a trucking fleet that hauled coal, died when Brock was 11, resulting in the family becoming impoverished.[2] He started working on the line at age 16.[2] Brock graduated from culinary school at Johnson & Wales University in 2000.[3]

He was the executive chef at Charleston, South Carolina's Husk from its opening in 2010 until 2018, as well as a partner at McCrady's Restaurant.[4] The menu at Husk uses authentically Southern ingredients and also previously used food grown in Brock's own garden.[3] He is noted for preserving Southernfoodways and heirloom ingredients, and collaborates with David Shields, the McClintock Professor of Southern Letters at University of South Carolina.[5
