Katrina activist opens Rockey V's

Posted: Monday, June 11, 2007
The St. Bernard Parish man who towed his Federal Emergency Management Agency
trailer to Washington and had dinner with President Bush is opening a
restaurant in Chalmette.
Rockey Vaccarella held a grand opening June 2 for Rockey V's, 1515 E. Judge
Perez Drive.
The family style pizzeria features Sicilian pizzas, salads, chicken wings
and meat pies, he said. Vaccarella, a former executive with the Popeye's
Famous Fried Chicken franchise, will own and operate the business with his
family.

Vaccarella set out Aug. 18 and five days later he met with Bush in the Oval
Office for 41 minutes. Vaccarella's journey to the White House was later
made into a documentary.
