Good Morning Atlanta!

Howdy gentlemen! I'm wondering about Atlanta and surrounding area. When is the best time to visit for the Fall Foliage? I knew it is probable late October but does leaf changes colors faster or slower in Georgia. I've never been to Georgia so, I want to know when is the exact timing. I will have to be in GA around that time. I love to visit Savannah as well.

Please, suggest places to eat, sleep, sight seeing, things to do in your state that are popular for tourist. I love BBQ pls, let me know which restaurant is best and doesn't have to be in Atlanta as it can be anywhere in a 100 miles radius.
I'm on eccie but also a member of TER.

Thank you!

XOXO
