                                According to video and blog accounts from the past two years, a legendary pastrami on rye sandwich from Katz's Delicatessen contains roughly a full pound of hand-carved, juicy pastrami. This massive portion, almost 16 ounces, is piled high between two slices of rye bread, making it a truly iconic New York dining experience. The specific amount can vary slightly since the meat is carved to order, but customers can generally expect a hefty serving.
