Illinois has a 1% sales tax for (most) food items, but then that just
all depends, I think. There are various levels of sales taxes (in
Illinois). The sales tax on liquor, wine, and beer, not to mention
cigarettes, is typically a lot higher than non-food stuff like laundry
detergent, celophane wrap, and other consumer goods.

And on top of that, even some townships add their own sales taxes, etc.
Plus the restaurants might also have additional an additional tax on top
of regular sales tax too! Go figure. What's that saying - only two
things are certain in life - death and taxes - only too true.
