Americans are expected to pay an average of 20% more for their Thanksgiving meals than last year, writes Axios' Kelly Tyko.

Zoom in: The price hike may be even steeper for us in Boston.

Why it matters: Nearly every ingredient in the classic Thanksgiving feast is more expensive between inflation, supply chain interruptions and the avian flu, according to the American Farm Bureau's annual Thanksgiving dinner survey.

Driving the news: The survey, released earlier this month, found the average cost of this year's holiday meal for 10 is $64.05, up from the 2021 average of $53.31.

• It's the most expensive dinner in the 37 years of the bureau's holiday survey.

Separately, personal finance website MoneyGeek did a survey of Thanksgiving prices for 122 metro areas and found the most expensive meal is right here in Boston.

• We top the list of pricey Turkey Day dinners at $170 for a 10-pound bird, typical side dishes and desserts, beer and wine.
• Whole turkeys in the Boston metro area will cost $43, about double the national average price, MoneyGeek found.

What they're saying: "General inflation slashing the purchasing power of consumers is a significant factor contributing to the increase in average cost of this year's Thanksgiving dinner," said Roger Cryan, the Farm Bureau's chief economist, in a statement.

The shopping list from the Farm Bureau's informal survey includes turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a veggie tray and ingredients for a pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

Holiday staples with the biggest price increases nationwide include:

• 14-ounce bag of cubed stuffing mix, $3.88 (up 69%)
• Two frozen pie crusts, $3.68 (up 26%)
• Half pint of whipping cream, $2.24 (up 26%)
• A pound of frozen peas, $1.90 (up 23%)
• A dozen dinner rolls, $3.73 (up 22%)
• 30-ounce can of pumpkin pie mix, $4.28 (up 18%)

Yes, but: Only one item — a 12-ounce bag of fresh cranberries — had a price drop with the bag costing $2.57, down 14% from last year.

Zoom out: Turkey prices have dropped since the Farm Bureau's "volunteer shoppers" checked prices Oct. 18-31, which was before most grocery store chains began featuring whole frozen turkeys at sharply lower prices.

• Meal costs also vary by region with prices lower in the South and highest in the West.

Deehan here. I recently had the opportunity to travel through parts of Texas and stopped for a few days in Dallas, where I visited the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, the site of President John F. Kennedy's assassination on Nov. 22, 1963.

The intrigue: Fifty-nine years on, the plaza still attracts a steady flow of tourists to the spots along Elm Street where the former president's open-top limo was attacked by a sharpshooter positioned in the sixth-floor window of the former Texas School Book Depository.

• If you arrive by train like I did, you essentially walk straight into Dealey Plaza and can see the infamous Grassy Knoll area and the markers on the road where the bullets hit.

The building is still a state administration office and houses the assassination museum and a special exhibit about the 1968 Poor People's Campaign championed in part by Robert F. Kennedy.

Quick take: The museum experience was solemn and more moving than I expected for an event I already know so much about and that took place well before I was born.

• The museum is mostly made up of text that takes a visitor through the political reasons Kennedy was coming to Texas ahead of the 1964 election, what he and Mrs. Kennedy did on the trip, and a minute-by-minute timeline of the attack and its aftermath.
• The exhibits go into detail about the racial and political tensions in Dallas at the time and how citizens felt about the Kennedys before and after the shooting.

Friend of Axios Boston Garrett Quinn sent us this photo from a very crowded Banshee Pub in Dorchester from the start of the U.S. men's World Cup game against Wales.

• For those not keeping up with the tournament, the U.S. tied 1-1.

We're also told there was sheer pandemonium at the pub when USA took the lead.

Steph here. PlantPub's BBQ guacamole burger is one of the tastiest but messiest burgers I've had in a while.

The food: The plant-based restaurant stuffs lettuce, tomato, onions, cheese, guacamole, herb ranch dressing and a veggie patty between two brioche buns.

• My body was not ready, least of all my fingers (thank goodness for napkins).

The verdict: 10/10 recommend. But I wouldn't judge you if you pulled out a fork and knife for this one.
