GOOD ONES:    
What 3/4/2014 is {& theme}   FAT TUESDAY [Mardi Gras]   
Compare apples to apples?   EQUATE   
   
BTW:   
FINE ART TEACHERS really should be "fine arts teachers" and sadly weakens the thematic structure.

Food truck offering   WRAP [I happened to have had the R-A-P, but was missing the first letter, which I first thought to be C]   
   
I had forgotten today was Mardi Gras, so thanks to the editor(s) for making this puzzle a little special.   
   
   
RATING:   
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
