Here in Minnesota, we don't pay taxes on food (except for soda and "junk") and clothing. In our county/city, we pay 7.875% on everything else. Fast food tax is a bit higher, though, and I even think there's an extra .5 or 1% if you go through the drive-through???

At one point, in the tourist part of town, there was an extra tax at these restaurants to pay for a new Entertainment Center (ice arena / venue for concerts), that I believe brought the tax up to 11%. (This additional tax at these restaurants was passed by referendum!)
