Rocky Denson was born and raised in Colonial Beach, Virginia. He is married to his best friend, Blaire, and they have four children and three grandchildren. Rocky attended York College of Pennsylvania and earned his Bachelor of Science in Organizational Management and Development from Bluefield College. His parents and grandparents owned and operated Denson’s Grocery which was established in 1912. After many years in financial services, Rocky and Blaire reopened the family business in 2011 and rebranded the grocery with a focus on specialty items and Chesapeake Bay farm-to-table fare. In 2013 they introduced R&B Oyster Bar. Rocky loves good, fresh food, and has a very distinct palate. He enjoys working with local watermen and farmers to obtain the freshest ingredients for his kitchen. He is a self-taught chef but gives much credit to travel, and the culinary influences he has been fortunate to eat and cook with over the years.
